well again the british government's failing to get people back into work we talked about this in the week recent figures show the unemployed are more likely to find work on their own that if the role of the government's flagship employment program critics also say it stifles any individuality young job seekers may have. one of the many frustrated job hunters. some months now twenty five year old jay paxton's been keeping a video diary about his experiences on the government's work programme. usually through work programs the government's like ship scheme that pays private sector organizations to place people in work and they called it a revolution in welfare but the first figures released since its launch revealed a resoundingly failure something that hasn't surprised in the slightest think

it's a going keep his appointment now it seems pretty tightly regimented we've watched people running in all morning to keep that appointment g.'s been coming to this job center once a fortnight for the past six months that he's been on the governance work program in that time he hasn't found a single job and unfortunately that's not uncommon the latest figures released by the department of work and pensions say the job is just one of hundreds of thousands of people that has signed up to that work program he's found absolutely nothing. in fact between gene two thousand and eleven and july this year of all the people he was signed up to the work program and the three point four percent found work fall below the targets of five point five percent which is the number of people he find work with that any sort of program it means that people like

typically less likely to find a job than if their own new work program whatsoever can you talk as he is to the last six months what has the experience been and on a daily basis with this work program well. einstein once said that the definition of insanity is to do one thing a mentor repeat production and expect a different result and after doing the same thing and getting the same results for six months i'm starting to feel pretty insane over here and it is maddening the frustration be anguish despair most of the time the chair in the experience is having serious effects are actually gone to the doctors a couple of times because of our sleeping cycle problems i'm sleeping way too much and i should be at the doctor's them sounds interesting from what sounds pretty horrific when you feel in this tracklist field in the chart christmas like you got

clinical depression. figures. at the start i was drawn scions i'm going to be the next greatest thing show the world. i don't want to take these pills i'd rather do something more constructive things are pretty much. all fish if malik tells us that the one size fits all formats is the work program it's stifling the individuality of young. people i speak to quite intelligent quite bright some of them have to resort. to some of the quite well skilled and they hate being told what to do and they like to take appropriate action for themself. quite good for finding work for themselves it's a start it is difficult with the work program what we see now is that in fact when you get the best of the private sector involved when you pay them a lot of money they actually do worse than doing nothing at all we asked the government why their work program was pretty sing such poor results and why the

figures they released seem designed to mask the chilly extent of the failure he responded saying it's ridiculous to suggest the work programme is not helping people into work despite being faced with their range comings it seems the government still doesn't want to listen to people like a telling the loud and clear i regret to inform you that on this occasion you have been unsuccessful. r.t. london. russia says it's drawing up a list of american officials it considers guilty of human rights abuses it's in response to the so-called magnitsky list of banned russians approved by washington lawmakers this last week it's named after a lawyer who died in a russian police custody in two thousand and nine the u.s. blames moscow for his death but journalist on the blog says the rogue supposes american hypocrisy. russian foreign minister should respond to such an obvious insult where the united states probably the preeminent violator of human rights at

this point in terms of scale magnitude and depth pointing its finger at anyone certainly the person who's having their finger that finger in their face should reply point out you have no standing to accuse us of anything and stand up for themselves canada has been voting and acting in concert with the united states for the last few years now if you look at the votes on israel for example you'll find the united states canada and you know like some small rock in the middle of the pacific voting on one side and the rest of the world on the other. china is hold india against pursuing oil exploration in the disputed south china sate the south to new delhi thread to send warships to the resorts ridge area to protect his interests but now is his can off explains a conflict between the two nations could see both leaders at. as china and india rise economically their military muscles are growing as well both need energy to

keep that kind of growth going and that may be putting the two asian giants on a collision course because of the mess that nationalism the indian government cannot afford to be seem to be weak in dealing with china obviously a higher power with the government popular over two hundred billion barrels of oil and large amounts of natural gas that's more than the vast majority of the world's energy rich nations have all hidden under the south china sea china claims most of the territory for itself but india has also managed to get access by buying a stake in a vietnamese gas field shortly after hanoi accuse chinese boats of sandwich dodging exploration india warned it's ready to use force to defend its interests hopefully as i said they choose not to lead to a longer term conflict but you know it's it's a new me inevitable because both these countries now large ambitions of becoming

global actors and players both china and india have been pumping billions of u.s. dollars into their armies and navies holding drills on a regular basis and beijing has also announced its police will soon start to board and inspect foreign vessels surely the vast oil reserves in the south china sea are just too big of a cash for neither trying not working here to pass out what they really want a conflict between the two economic power houses so it's a really a game that neither can win the two asian giants can't afford any weaknesses and that would make it easier for other countries to take a bite of the vast resources the u.s. has long been increasing its economic and military presence in the region this in yes there west strike to take this extension bible into china in terms of the last . four holes that the girl. seeing that the wall is a military class so if it to you soon power houses can share in minutes leave the

the. former u.s. assistant secretary of defense also

a former years and messenger to saudi arabia it's great to have you with us or today it's a privilege right so operation pillar of cloud that israel has carried out in. both israel and hamas are claiming victory could do you think is the winner i don't think israel is the winner except in one sense and that is it demonstrated that the iron dome missile defense system will work otherwise in the arena of public opinion internationally in the region it lost heavily. nobody likes to see advanced military aircraft bombing civilian populations which is what was happening. and of course this energized egypt diplomatically in a new way and it generated a lot of support for the palestinians in gaza. despite the fact. many of the governments that came to visit sent their foreign ministers here to gaza for

example don't like hamas at all in fact they fear it so it clearly strengthened the . how matz both in the palestinian territories and in the arab world politically and i think that's a victory for hamas and a defeat for israel but israel invokes the right to defend itself against terrorism and this is a claim backed by countries such as united states and germany you certainly don't deny israel this right to certainly not and but that doesn't mean that you can take preemptive attack action to attack others especially civilians the fact that one side commits occasional acts of terrorism does not justify state terrorism and in this case there was no rocket far of any consequence from the gaza strip into israel prior to israel's inauguration of military raid that killed the military leader of amounts hamas is an organization that doesn't have much of the

military capacity many people actually say that israel back in two thousand and eight two thousand and nine and also this time. it really wanted to could have squeezed hamas out of palestine but it didn't do so why. well i think israel did attempt very to use violence in the earlier cast lead operation it did that was at the very end of two thousand and eight as there was a change of administrations going on in washington it's interesting this war also happened around me with election time exactly but i feel that israel failed and the reason it failed is that the strategy is wrong you cannot bomb people into peaceful coexistence just does not work you just spoke about the elections that was right after they presidential election in the united states or right before the elections in israel. what does it suggest to you is the timing important or was it a coincidence well i suspect that the timing in this case was dictated by the

israeli election. it's very popular in israel to kill lots of palestinians in gaza . and have mass is seen as a monster and so a war against amounts when vote you know i want to talk about the wording of the operation pillar of cloud obviously referring to the bible and back in the bible. it was the pillar of cloud who let the israelis through with pete out of egypt and save them from the sorrow how much the torah narratives actually dominate the mindset of israeli war planners well the religious element in both in the israeli armed forces largely subtle are driven. not orthodox jews many of whom don't want to serve in the military refuse to do so but the religious complection of the israeli defense forces is steadily increased so religion is now very much bound up with its operations the language of some rabbis during cast lead was

simply hair raising in terms of evoking old testament images of genocide against non jews. i think also it's true that this use of language reflects the fact that the israeli palestinian struggle which began as a sort of struggle between two competing nationalisms and became a struggle between arabs and israelis has now become a struggle between jews and muslims in the western media though the operation pillar of cloud was renamed pillar of defense corps i suppose it sounds less alarming defense is a good thing isn't it. attacking people behind a cloud perhaps maybe isn't. evoking memories of old testament violence raises questions perhaps in the broader world. so this is

the sort of typical example of what the israelis call. as bata which is control of narrative. and propaganda and they do it very well in two thousand and nine you were nominated to lead the national intelligence council in president obama's administration in the you declined. due to pressure of what you've called these rather lobby in the united states you precise later on that it's actually more correct to call it the likud lobby or the lobby of the right wing in israel what exactly do you mean by that definition well i think if you look at the american jewish community which from which the activists in the israel lobby are drawn there is a large passive support for israel among christian fundamentalists but they are not active generally speaking the activists come from a very limited segment about four percent of the american jewish community and these are people who are strong supporters of the extreme right wing in israel

there's another very interesting instance that you describe i'm going to read out a quote of yours you are being told by a senior israeli official thank you for what you did for israel what job in president bush administration do you want how exactly does that work i mean kind of foreign power actually influence staffing of national security positions in the u.s. government well when this man who i had considered a friend and rather admired tactlessly made that offer to me i thought he could deliver it. i thought he was making a real offer and i was enraged. as somebody as an american patriot i don't like the idea that any foreign country even one close to us should be able to dictate our decisions about our internal politics was it a bluff or could he really does i think he might have been able to deliver and i didn't take him up on it for obvious reasons i thought it was

a despicable that's going to sorry it is a little scary yes. but you see. there is again a narrative which is that israeli interests and american interests are identical israeli values and american values are identical neither is true if you examine it but that israeli narrative would be nothing without american backing yes america is a wonderful echo chamber for israel because our relations are so intimate and we are. so much in contact with each other and the american media are so. amenable to spreading. the israeli line the narrative. and the american media are enormously interview and influential internationally and so this takes what might be a rather small voice from israel and magnifies it and spreads it everywhere and israel is after all a very small country that is surrounded by enemies whether it made those enemies

itself or whether it's simply. there simply there is beside the point israel is in a difficult position it uses everything it can and. it can use to defend itself and this is one of the means of defense a very strong one what exactly are the priorities of the lobby in the united states and how much power do they actually wield over the us media well i think it's less the media than the congress. but ultimately the media also depend upon advertising and congress works the fuel of our progress i'm sorry to say it's campaign contributions which is another way of saying our politics is pretty corrupt. so you can vote by vote. the fuel for our media is advertising and advertising can be withheld or granted depending on what you say you know what

i always wondered how come that our blog is not so powerful in the arab shakes could probably find its pretty much anything they wanted. interesting question first of all i don't think there is an arab lobby i think it is the fiction of the israel lobby is imagination or perhaps a sort of construct they've created because you need to have an enemy so why isn't there an arab well there's lots of reasons for that we have significant arab american population which potentially could produce a lobby but it's divided as the arabs themselves are so there's no domestic base that could focus the energy of this voting bloc in one direction and second turning to the united states yes the the gulf arabs have plenty of money but they also have no understanding of the importance of institutions. as opposed to people their own politics is very personalized their own societies don't have

many cases rest on institutional foundations. they don't have a habit of sustained effort on anything they are more likely to do something short term they like the sprint rather than the marathon that is required in this arena. and probably many of them consider it improper. to in effect buy votes. and i happen to agree with them but. they are behind the times unfortunately everyone else is doing it so you don't have the domestic base and you don't have the foreign support and i might say that the gulf arabs like other arabs they don't like the arab americans who are not mainly from the gulf go for emigrate there are no saudi americans to speak of there are no tottery americans to speak of the no amorality americans to speak up while they come to study in the states and then go and study and they maybe have a vacation home and they enjoy the united states as

a visitor but they don't. emigrate to your a crack with throwing in two thousand and nine and not taking a position. i didn't want to go back into the government i had given thirty years of my life to public service i thought that was plenty i was very reluctant to do that job and when i was publicly attacked in the way i was it became apparent that i couldn't do the job so the decision to withdraw it was so simply a matter of logic and i don't regret it at all i have a good life a better life than i would if i were doing that i think i wouldn't consider taking out a position in the government in the future no no i think i'd let somebody younger have a chance but. no i can't think of any position i would really like to do at this stage in part because at the moment our government is pretty dysfunctional it's not making any sensible decisions and it seems to find it very hard to do that

we can't even pass a budget jobs we can't even address our fiscal imbalance we don't address any of our fundamental questions of foreign policy if we continue to do more of the same in this circumstance the chance that one individual could make a real difference it's not very great. and i'm i'm happy cultivating my garden. that's your family thank you very much for this interview i pleasure. could you take three. three. three. three.
